FOTD: Beach Makeup

I don't like to wear makeup at the beach, but I feel naked without a little bit on! There are few things that I refuse to compromise on and one of them is a good base. Luckily for me my skin is clear at the moment and I can get away with only applying foundation to the center of my face. Afterwards I use a bit of bronzer on the tops of my cheeks and down my nose to give some color to my complexion. Finally I pop on a tiny bit of mascara and whip my brows into shape using a tinted brow gel and then I'm all set!
